Friday, June 26, 2020.  It’s been over two months since the last Derby Double Dozen and One, otherwise known as the Top 25, but Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 5 opens today and runs all weekend, so this is the time to do it!  That’s right, the Derby Top 25 and Grid PP for the Futures Pool all in one!

.

You will note that several of the Top 25, 8 to be exact, don’t appear as an individual entry in the Futures Pool, which has 22 named entries, and the opposite is true as well.  That’s because the rankings here are independent based on my analysis and not that of anyone else. 

.

These rankings can give you an advantage in betting the pool, as you can see some of the highly ranked horses have nice odds in the pool.  And 5 of them aren’t in the pool, so you would have to get the field which you might get decent odds on now that Tiz The Law won the Belmont Stakes.

.

.

This time, there was major upheaval in the top 5 for the first time ever, because 3 of the top 5 from last time were declared out of the Derby. Charlatan, Nadal, and Maxfield were all top 5 and won’t be running for the roses.

.

First, get the Grid PP for the pool right here, opening/downloading the link below, so you can follow along. To make it easier, we put the Top 25 rank inside the Grid for you so it’s like a complete guide.

.

Next, here is the Derby Double Dozen Top 25.  Shockingly, Tiz The Law is now #1, as he should be on any list that is taken seriously, having now won 3 Grade 1 races, which two more than any other in the field, and only losing once in his career, on a sloppy track, perhaps the only chink in his armor.
